Summary
Romans 2:12-16 - For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

| 0:00.0 | Hello my friends and welcome back to the morning mindset I hope you're doing well out |
| 0:07.0 | there in this crazy crazy world I had the great privilege the great joy of spending last weekend with my wife and children |
| 0:17.7 | and grandchildren and a family reunion. Everyone was able to come. It was a wonderful time and I am feeling refreshed and ready to go. |
| 0:26.2 | I hope you are experiencing some of the joys in life that God provides to us so that you can see his goodness firsthand in your life and give |
| 0:36.3 | thanks and glory to him and feel refreshed in your spirit. |
| 0:40.8 | We are in the book of Romans chapter 2 verse 12 through 16 is what we're looking at today. |
| 0:47.9 | And this passage leads me to ask this question. |
| 0:51.8 | Have you ever wondered what does God think about those people who do not even |
| 0:57.8 | know about Jesus Christ? How does he judge them if they've not had the opportunity to place their faith in |
| 1:06.6 | Christ? Our passage today is one of the passages that helps us to think that |
| 1:12.1 | issue true. Let's read it. It says for all who have |
| 1:15.4 | sinned without the law, so these are people who don't even know about the |
| 1:19.5 | Ten Commandments, that kind of law, will also perish without the law. |
| 1:26.5 | So Paul is saying that those who sin |
| 1:29.9 | without knowledge of God's holy requirements or moral requirements are not off the hook. |
| 1:36.1 | Let's continue reading. |
| 1:37.9 | And all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. |
| 1:43.2 | So the distinction Paul is making is how those people will be judged, not whether or not |
| 1:48.8 | they will be judged. |
| 1:50.6 | First 13, he says, for it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God |
| 1:55.4 | but the doers of the law who will be justified. Now what Paul is saying is if you are going to make a list for yourself or even receive a |
| 2:06.8 | list from God of requirements you need to keep in order to be justified in God's eyes. Hey, knock yourself out with that. |
